If he was, do you think that I would want to fight him here?” Incidentally Chip wants first crack at Darcy. The former middleweight champion says he's entitled to a match before Carpentier, Levinsky and Dillon, because Darcy didn’t show up for their second fight, Nov. 6, for which he had signed articles, “I don't blame Les for that,” sald Chip to-day. “I called on him a little while ago and told him that, He did right getting out of Australia. There's only one real country, and that the A." Then Chip proceeded to say hing of Darcy and his style. cy won't pick his opponents,’ sald Chip. “His managers will do that. But he'll make a great hit here. He has a very pleasing personality and a emile in the ring that's a winner “Back in Australia, the people fairly worship him. He ts an idol, He's so popular that his real fighting ability is a matter of secondary considera- tion,” and Chip didn’t want to be set down as a knocker, wes in the ring is Ightning fast, especially with his feet,” went on Chip. “He's always on the go and al- ways at his man, With great physt- cal strength, he has a peculiar habit of pulling and tugging at his man, and butting at the same time, He's > /Australian Is of the Always more of an infighter than anyining| |. “With his mauling style of fight- {ing,” went on Chip, “Darcy easily wears his opponents down to a point of exhaustion.

There are | but few cold knockouts In his record. “Les feints with his head, like Young Griffo, gains an opening, then rushes in for his favorite infighting. ‘Then the pulling and tugging begins, and t's usually only a question of a few rounds when the fight {s stopped. “If Darcy has a wallop he had a lorious chance to use it on me. I arrived in Australia Aug. 15 and fought Les a month later, though weakened considerably by the climate. The day before the bout I had to take off seven pounds to make the weight. In the second round I was so weak that I could hardly raiso my arms. Darcy kept raining blows on me, yet it required nine rounds to score a knockout.” Chip frankly admitted Les sneaked over a cleanly hit knockout and that he had a long visit to the Land of Nod. Still George insists that in his condition that day several American battlers would have probably sent over a crusher in quicker time. “When it came time for our second bout Les was quietly getting out of Australia,” continued Chip, “and I don't blame him. He never received {much for fighting, but he ought to | pull down a ton of money here.” Chip has the greatest admiration {for Darcy's speed. According to George, the Australian ts so fast skip- | Ping rope that his feet can hardly be | followed by the eye. Chip related an incident showing Darcy's great hold on the Australian Les, after a tough fight, his early bouts several years ago. The crowd, delirious with joy, tried to burn down the stadium as the most | fitting way of holding a celebration. The management was finally com- pelled to summon the Fire Depart- ment and have hoses played on the happy crowd before !t would go home. Chip says he's been here long enough from Australia to have lost {his sea legs and is ready to go on with Darcy at any time. He thinks thelr second meeting would have a different ending from the first bout.
